Ryu Hyun-Jin has lost about 15 pounds since he reported to his first spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a fact that didn't go unnoticed by a reporter who used a common Korean phrase to say the left-hander's face was half its previous size. Ryu smiled and grimaced, realizing he still has a few pounds to lose. By any other measure, his new career is off to a promising start. Ryu debuted in Dodger blue for their second game of Cactus League play Sunday, allowing a triple and getting a strikeout during one scoreless inning of work against the Chicago White Sox.
